Hi Baoquan,
During driver being loaded and initialized, when there is a new dma
request, the function
__get_valid_domain_for_dev
is called, and then new page is mapped.
Please check this:
struct dma_map_ops intel_dma_ops = {
.alloc = intel_alloc_coherent,
.free =

Hi Zhenhua,
From your patch I got it will remove all mappings, assign a new
